Should Oldbag Acquaintence Be Forgot

Who: The Ace Attorney cast, any of their CR, and maybe gate-crashers?! Curious neighbors and other passersby won't be turned away.
When: January 1st
Where: The Wright apartment.
What: It's never too late for a new years party, except when it is.
Rating/Warning: Nothing out there just yet

[A new years party had been in the works for a while now. But the incidents with the Santa attacks plus time suddenly skipping ahead to January 1st had caught everyone off-guard. But Phoenix was convinced to go ahead with the party anyway. It's one way to help keep spirits high after what had happened the night before.

Invitations were dispersed amongst the group of people from their world (except for a certain elderly murderer, sorry Von Karma) and the friends they've made in Cerealia (and everyone is open to invite other people as well). Everything's happening at Phoenix and Trucy's apartment, which has some simple New Years banners set up alongside some surviving Christmas decorations. The Christmas tree is still up too, just in case... but all of the decorations and ornaments featuring Santa and his reindeer have already been destroyed.

Entertainment includes a karaoke machine which plays music normally when people aren't using it, and an assortment of food is set up, with people being free to have brought their own dishes and snacks. There is some alcohol there too, including the customary champagne, but likely the local adults will be trying to keep things down to small champagne samples; Phoenix prefers to respect his original world's drinking age, after all.

And, as they near midnight, the intention is to try to countdown to January 2nd as if it's the new year countdown!]

My opinion? [A beat. Then, with a wry tone:] Once again, CERES demonstrates how much it knows about us and how little it cares for our well-being in this colony.

[huh, she hadn't quite expected him to say that in response to her first question]

Strong words, Mr. Edgeworth! Are you prepared to be quoted on that?
prosecutory: (♘ and I discovered that)

[He sets his jaw as if mentally daring CERES to get on his case about this quote.]

Yes, I am.

Sss, sss, sss! Perhaps it's the time for strong words.

[inwardly, Scuttlebutt did a little dance of joy in her heart] [strong words criticizing CERES! This was sure to get some attention]

Building on that... if you could see one change from the CERES, what would you prefer that be? Some have stressed a lack of proper communication channels so they can hear our concerns. Others, a lack of transparency and accountability from CERES itself. What do you think is the root cause of the problem?
prosecutory: (♘ for some reason)

[Edgeworth doesn't think these words would get attention; many people have criticized CERES, this isn't new.

Anyway, Myriam's next inquiry makes him think for a while. He closes his eyes briefly, then opens them again to answer.]


I would say accountability and transparency are important, considering how many incidents have happened and they've done nothing but toss us baubles and send us on our way when we demand better explanations.

"Baubles," you say... could you be a little more, specific? Tangible examples, that is. Sss, sss, sss.
prosecutory: (♘ I can't explain; I know)

Credits, and discounts. [A shake of the head.]

Really? So... in other words, CERES official response to events that inspire public hysteria is... trinket-level economic compensation. Kahk-kahk-kahk.

That's correct.

They get to choose which shop you get a discount from, of course.
